Hello everyone,
Saturday evening 20:00 and miserable and rainy outside, so I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm located in the beautiful Cotswold's in the UK, although I'm originally from the wonderful county of Devon. I've been making pictures for some 30 plus years and am currently 'semi-pro, semi retired' but not necessarily in that order!!
A long time Canon used, I went to Nikon when transferring to digital some years ago, as I would have had to have changed complete systems anyway, as the FD mount and EOS mounts were not interchangeable. The major benefits with Nikon from my point of view are that I find their ergonomics are better suited to me and of course the lenses are more consistent in that they all use the same mount. At least from about 1970 onwards, thereby offering a wider range to select from should the need be there, or a bargain suddenly become available.
As with many things in life, there remains much to learn, and judging from the excellent examples posted on Shutter Talk, this is a great place to be.
Best regards to everyone.
Phil.
